In the case of UAB Kesko Senukai Lithuania v. Lithuania the ECHR held that there had been a violation of the right to respect for home and correspondence.

The case concerned an inspection of the applicant company’s registered office in 2018 by the Competition Council while the company, along with several other companies, had been under investigation for alleged price fixing. The national courts refused to review the inspection. The Court found that the lack of judicial review in the case had removed the legal safeguards against arbitrariness and abuse in how the inspection had been carried out.
